Hi, 
I have a strange problem with NIS user and AIX 6.1 
The user name is 9 characters long - alexandra and I can't telnet or ssh with it directly to any AIX 6.1 machine, only as root and then su - alexandra. 
But even this way, I get this error: 
3004-614 Unable to change directory to &quot;&quot;. 
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; You are in &quot;/home/guest&quot; instead. 
 
But I have no problem to run cd ~alexandra (it’s mounted via NFS) 
 
When i try to ssh to one of the AIX 6.1 machines as alexandra, I get &quot;access denied&quot; even though ssh is open to all NIS users and any other NIS user can SSH without any problem. 
When I try to telnet to one of the AIX 6.1 machines as alexandra, I get “3004-300 You entered an invalid login name or password.” 
And finally, when I try to “su – Alexandra” from other NIS user, (not as root) I get: 
You entered an invalid login name or password. 
Cannot su to &quot;tore&quot;. 
 
This problem is only with AIX 6.1, I also have AIX 5.2 &amp;&nbsp;5.3 and I don't have any problems like that with them! 
 
Thanks, 
Tal

NIS user and AIX 6.1

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
